Make my own auto-run utility...?

[kabuk1]

I wonder if this would be possible to do. I'm talking about something like the sprint extended rom auto-run thingy, where it automatically starts up & installs a set of apps when you first power on after a hard reset.

I have a bunch of 3rd-party programs that I use regularly & it's rather tedious to have to install them all one by one every time I hard reset, so I'm curious to see what can be done to simplify the process. What I'm wanting to do is lump all the CABs into an auto-run utility & stick it in the extended rom, just like the sprint thing.

Any ideas?
